Abstract: A pivoting gutter assembly is disclosed, in which the gutter can be, during summer months, put into the horizontal collecting position to receive rainwater from the roof and to direct it to a down-spout. For the winter months and or maintenance, the gutters are swung-out to downwards vertical position below the roof cornice thus being protected from damage. The gutter system includes hangers attached to the roof, the hangers each having a bearing. A shaft is inserted into the bearing and the gutter is fixed to the shaft. The system provides for special hangers assuring the correct pitch of the gutters. Also, it contains a down-spout for location above a fixed downward collector for rainwater, thus permitting the gutters to be pivoted from horizontal to vertical position without the need to disconnect the down-spout. A wormgear and wormdrive are attached to the end of shaft, outside the house fascia; this drive permits to operate the gutter's position from the ground level by an extended bar and manually driven crank or by using electric motor's drive attached to worm and remote control, eliminating the need of a ladder to reach downward position particularly important for the gutters installed on the roof high above the ground such as high rise buildings.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'estimation de mouvements réduisant les conditions de largeur de bande de mémoire et simplifiant les calculs pour procéder à la mise en correspondance des blocs. Tout d'abord, des valeurs de pixels multibits d'images sont converties en valeurs de pixels monobits. Ensuite, une image antérieure de valeurs de pixels monobits et une image de référence de valeurs de pixels monobits sont stockées. Afin de trouver le bloc présentant la meilleure correspondance dans l'image précédente, on compare la somme des différences absolues de valeurs de pixels entre l'image de référence et un bloc dans la zone de recherche à l'intérieur de l'image précédente. Enfin, on calcule un vecteur de mouvements représentant la différence entre le bloc de référence et le bloc présentant la meilleure correspondance dans l'image antérieure. La valeur d'un pixel de référence est seuillée par rapport à une valeur moyenne ayant subit un filtrage passe-bas autour du pixel de référence. Le pixel de référence est remplacé par la valeur moyenne des pixels voisins. Les valeurs de pixels multibits peuvent être des valeurs d'intensité à 8 bits. En outre, le bloc de référence peut être un bloc 8 par 8 de valeurs de pixels et la zone de recherche peut être un bloc 136 par 136 de valeurs de pixels.
